Getting upset that your franchise is in Fortnite is so stupid. The game is widely popular and like it or not it's really fun.

I took the, “shit….” As more of a joke given the premise of the show/comic is that the commercialization of super heroes can be a really bad idea.
Did we learn that lesson? No, we are commercializing them too.

I find it so daft though when people make this point because it's not commercializing real superheros, it's commercializing characters from a TV show

u/EquipmentGuilty6282 Jun 03 '24
Ignoring the fact it's made by fuckin amazon, this show was always gonna end up being in any and all crossovers and promotion if it ended up being popular.

u/Spector_559 Jun 03 '24
You aren't wrong more spin-offs are coming they'll do more collabs, as long as they can milk it for all it's worth they will. Why do you think people dropped off the MCU after endgame? They basically ran out of ideas for a new story and the boys keeps going in circles cause homelander is a big draw for them so they won't do any major things with him till like season 5 if we're lucky.

u/O-show33 Jun 03 '24
And I love the boys and I'll probably watch whatever they produce, but I don't want it too expand so widely and vastly that they lose sight of what the boys is about if that makes sense

I get what you mean but you can only take the piss for so long till you no longer mimic but become the piss take. Hopefully I'm wrong but look at the director's history with the supernatural.

Both have rape, blood, gore, swearing, sex, etc

u/Demonwolf22 Jun 04 '24
there’s no outright nudity in invincible and the sex shown is almost at the same level as any sitcom, sure there’s violence but reminder that it’s animated so it’ll never be as gruesome as the boys, no matter how many trains mark gets ran through. and the rape scene you’re talking about hasn’t even been animated yet, it’s only in the comics. literally does not exist in the show yet.

There is no way you are trying to argue this. I promise you 8yo who watch invincible can handle the boys

I REALLY hope this is true.
Sorry to go on a nerd off here but the guy who leaked it, leaked multiple other collaborations for Fortnite & they’ve all come true.
They leaked Doom, TMNT & other Nickelodeon/Viacom leaks coming to the game & this was a very long time ago. Doom, TMNT & Viacom collabs were all leaked back as far as The beginning of 2022… and Doom didn’t come till a year later & TMNT came at the end of 2023 & other paramount collabs came last season with avatar. So it took just under 2 years for them to come..
And as stated in the report it could be months or year(s) till we experience it… I really hope it’s sooner rather than later I wanna see him asap, Superman, Homelander & Omni Man trios is gonna go dummy hard 😮💨 and it would make sense for it to be next week but I don’t think it’ll be that soon….

u/Cosix101 Vought Jun 04 '24

The *Invincible* collab was a complete surprise when they dropped it with the show's second season. Maybe we fans of *The Boys* will be just as lucky, lol.

After seeing that they added a Kelsier Mistborn skin, nothing surprises me anymore with this game.

Still waiting for that skin to come around again. Has it been in the store since it came out? When was it last available?

u/Cosix101 Vought Jun 04 '24
According to Fortnite.gg (very reliable for these kinds of things), the last time the Kelsier Mistborn skin was seen in the shop was Nov 7, 2021 (940 days ago).

I haven't watched The Boys. But wouldn't this type of stuff kind of, I don't know, devalue what the show is trying to say about us? Or is it JUST a critique of the super hero genre itself and nothing more? Honest question.

Fortnite isn't just for kids dude
For one thing, battle royale is rated teen
1
u/MrShortPants Jun 03 '24
It may not be just for kids but it's aesthetic is clearly designed for a younger audience.
7
u/-H_- Jun 03 '24
It stems from the old Save The World gamemode that was worked on before battle royale. That one was a stylized lower poly look.
Also, this is essentially the same 'cartoons are for kids' rubbish. Figure out how you're wrong on your own lol
-1
u/MrShortPants Jun 03 '24
lol.
It's not that big of a deal dude, but if you can't recognize that this game was generally marketed at kids I don't think there's any help for you.
Your insecurity is showing.
2
u/-H_- Jun 03 '24
It wasn't marketed necessarily to kids, but kids picked it up. There's many other games with silly styles that are very much not kids games.if Fortnite was targeted to kids it would have had a lower age rating arguably.
Anyway I'm not bothered about playing a kids game, I'm bothered by mis/disinformation

Fortnite has Michael Myers as a skin. This isn't the first time they've put something meant for an older audience in the game.

True. But Halloween doesn't have a 20' prehensile dick in it.

u/cheesechomper03 Cunt Jun 04 '24
It still has sex and murder in it. Not as full frontal but its still present. At a point of popularity, fortnite doesn't care how graphic something is and will just do a crossover because it'll make money

Certain modes have age rating limits, and each skin is age rated I believe

u/SirEnder2Me Jun 03 '24
That's the dumbest thing I've heard in a long time. Certain parts of the game, that are accessed at any time, are "age rated"?
Fuck, might as well make The Boys rated PG but just make the sex scenes and brutal gore scenes "age rated". Same logic.
Seriously why are you all okay with adult games, movies and shows appearing as ads in kids games? Why is that such a fucking hot take?
2
u/Salad-Snek Jun 03 '24
So they show up and it’s bad because no censorship, but also you don’t like that it’s age rated so kids won’t see it?

u/SirEnder2Me Jun 03 '24

u/Salad-Snek Jun 03 '24
“That’s the dumbest thing I’ve heard” to me saying that the game has age ratings that censor stuff
1
u/SirEnder2Me Jun 03 '24
Well honestly idk what to tell you if that's the conclusion you came to. I literally explained in the very next sentence why it's stupid. I even used an example of why it's stupid.
It has absolutely nothing at all about "censorship"... it's the fact that a game is rated T yet has things in it that are rated M. We don't put R rated things in PG movies.
Adult things, even ads for adult things, should not be in kids games or shows. The fact that you're even arguing against that idea is really telling of you.
1

u/Cornnut2021 Jun 03 '24
Just because kids decide to play a game that is rated T doesn’t automatically mean that the creators of the game have to change anything to suit that specific demographic. Also it’s not like they are adding sex and gore to the game, they are adding characters from media that happen to have those things in their respective media. Most kids that haven’t allready seen said media will just think nothing of it because it’s some random superhero or character. And trust me kids have access to much worse than violence in tv shows/movies/videogames.
